How it works

Hotels without Hassle

We take the guesswork out of finding the right hotel. Share a few details about your trip, and we'll match you with stays that fit you, not just your budget. Your personal concierge handles the rest, from booking to check-in, so you can just look forward to arriving.

"Shrey and his team planned my first-ever visit to Italy for a wedding, and made the experience so seamless. They were incredibly responsive, and took time to do meticulous research for all of our hotel stays and even helped us with a rental car! Would highly recommend him and use his services again!"

"Planning our honeymoon with Anecdote has been an absolute joy. One of the unexpected highlights was receiving their hotel dossiers - each one felt like a mini Christmas present. I'd get a WhatsApp ping and immediately open it to see what amazing things they discovered. Not only were their recommendations spot-on, but they also beat the best prices we could find online. They brought joy, ease, and serious value to the whole process. Couldn't recommend them more - I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!"

"Having a fully competent and responsive concierge on my side before and during my trip to Tokyo was so refreshing. Anecdote saved me both time (by surfacing insider info about Tokyo that would otherwise take a while to search for) and money (through their exclusive hotel rates). Highly recommend!"
